Oh, I forgot JackDev was actually an upstream thing and thought it was
ChromeOS-specific. In that case I can't really object to JackSwitch
either.

Still, problems with jack detection are common for people who want to
use ordinary Linux distributions on ChromeOS devices and from my point
of view it's "Google makes their things run on JackControl" vs "Someone
makes PulseAudio etc. support JackDev+JackSwitch" to get things working
out of the box in the future. I was trying to propose the former, but I
don't know the merits of either approach, so can't say much other than
that.

Regardless, I appreciate your work on reconciling ChromeOS configs with
upstream configs.
